I was once skeptical of the show Shark Tank. I figured it was all rigged and both the investors and entrepreneurs were well-coached and rehearsed. On a whim, I asked Mark Cuban if he would let me shadow him during a taping.He said yes and I wrote this. I have a newfound respect for the show and even more appreciation for how hard Mark Cuban works and how much time he puts toward his Shark Tank investments.

Today Central Market announced Mark Cuban will introduce the products of four of his food entrepreneurs to the shelves of all Central Market locations. The products include Alyssa’s Healthy Cookie, Chapul, Monkey Mat, and Simple Sugars. All four new products will be sold at all Central Market store locations.

Want a sample a bite straight from the shark’s hand? On Thursday, August 28, Mark Cuban will be passing out samples and demoing products. Well, maybe not Mark, but maybe Dirk. (I made that up.) Here are the times and dates.
